Present-day Afghanistan: the most dangerous place for women. Fifteen-year-old Rihana is put into a coffin at the hands of her father to be sold off to an old Taliban soldier. The wedding is a cocktail of tears and laughter. Rihana calls for help—no one answers. Then she remembers her God.

“Coffined at 15 is a great example of how innovative young filmmakers are bringing some of the harsh realities of this world to the front of our consciousness. I applaud the team behind this film for the way in they captured the horror of modern day Afghanistan for women and presented it in a way that seemed factual and not overly politicized.”
